|Computation and Estimation | | | |

| | | | |

|8.3 The student will solve practical problems involving rational numbers, percents, ratios, and proportions. Problems | | | |

|will be of varying complexities and will involve real-life data, such as finding a discount and discount prices and | | | |

|balancing a checkbook. | | | |

|8.4 The student will apply the order of operations to evaluate algebraic expressions for given replacement values of the| | | |

|variables. Problems will be limited to positive exponents. | | | |

|8.5 The student, given a whole number from 0 to 100, will identify it as a perfect square or find the two consecutive | | | |

|whole numbers between which the square root lies. | | | |

|Measurement | | | |

| | | | |

|8.6 The student will verify by measuring and describe the relationships among vertical angles, supplementary angles, and| | | |

|complementary angles and will measure and draw angles of less than 360°. | | | |

|8.7 The student will investigate and solve practical problems involving volume and surface area of rectangular solids | | | |

|(prisms), cylinders, cones, and pyramids. | | | |

|Geometry | | | |

| | | | |

|8.8 The student will apply transformations (rotate or turn, reflect or flip, translate or slide, and dilate or scale) to| | | |

|geometric figures represented on graph paper. The student will identify applications of transformations, such as tiling,| | | |

|fabric design, art, and scaling. | | | |

|8.9 The student will construct a three-dimensional model, given the top, side, and/or bottom views. | | | |

|8.10 The student will | | | |

|a) verify the Pythagorean Theorem, using diagrams, concrete materials, and measurement; and | | | |

|b) apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length of a side of a right triangle when given the lengths of the | | | |

|other two sides. | | | |

|Probability and Statistics | | | |

| | | | |

|8.11 The student will analyze problem situations, including games of chance, board games, or grading scales, and make | | | |

|predictions, using knowledge of probability. | | | |

|8.12 The student will make comparisons, predictions, and inferences, using information displayed in frequency | | | |

|distributions; box-and-whisker plots; scattergrams; line, bar, circle, and picture graphs; and histograms. | | | |

|Patterns, Functions, and Algebra | | | |

| | | | |

|8.14 The student will | | | |

|a) describe and represent relations and functions, using tables, graphs, and rules; and | | | |

|b) relate and compare tables, graphs, and rules as different forms of representation for relationships. | | | |

|8.15 The student will solve two-step equations and inequalities in one variable, using concrete materials, pictorial | | | |

|representations, and paper and pencil. | | | |

|8.16 The student will graph a linear equation in two variables, in the coordinate plane, using a table of ordered pairs.| | | |

|8.17 The student will create and solve problems, using proportions, formulas, and functions. | | | |

|8.18 The student will use the following algebraic terms appropriately: domain, range, independent variable, and | | | |

|dependent variable. | | | |
